Hurley Herald: Yankton scents 8
new railroad each and every week. Ite
suburbs will be made to resemble an
old fashioned gridiron when the lines
are all completed, and its coal banks
will be taxed to their fullest capacity to
furnish coal for machine shops, etc.
Watertown Courier: The Yankton.
Mitchell court removal bill seems to be
q great disturbing element in Bismarck.
Many bills are not considered on their
merits but to gain advocates according
as the author or particular friends favor
Yankton or Mitchell. Several bills
have been passed and others defeated
simply on account OF this Yankton-
Mitchell i%mbroglio.
Vermillion Plain Talk: Tie Jasperian
soolety has received q challenge from
the Yankton college boys, made through
the secretary of the Yankton society to
meet them in debate on OF about the
10th of March. The matter is be-
ing considered by the Jasperian society
and there will likely be another debate
arranged for in compliance with the
challenge, under somewhat different
terms from those agreed to on the oc-
casion of the last contest.
Canton Advocate: We do mo-. be-
lieye there is any need Of urging upon
Cantor people the absolute necessity of
more extended railroad connections. The
Northwestern on the south has cut us
OFT badly, and now comes the Burlinp-
ton on the north drawing business from
very doors. Farmers living within
a mile of Canton are buying their coal
selling their grain at the new
Burlington station. But this is not all.
Articles Of incorporation Of the Yank-
ton, Sioux Fails and Nebraska railroad
are being prepared. The road is to be
built ct noe from Sioux Falls to Yank.
ton, ana the capital stock is placed at
81 100000. The purpose of the new
road is to effect united action of Sioux
Falls and Yankton in acquiring the
proposed Duluth road. This line
would run down through Lin.
coin county. making q junction point
at Worthing or Lennox. It is
certain that this line will be
constructed the coming summer. Under
these circumstances, in what position
Canton, with non-competing lines
OF railway, be placed? On the other
hand it is believed the Duluth will also
run q line to Sioux City. Should they
construct their Sioux Fails and Yankton
line as now proposed il would run with
in eight miles of the Sioux crossing OF
the Huntington. An eight mile extern
sion OF the proposed Canton stub would
thus give q connection with the Duluth,
as we'll as the Burlington, and possibly
the Duluth could be induced to ran into
this city on their Sioux City line. This
would give Us direct communication
With the greatest wheat and small grain
market in the world and also the coming
great seabosrd of commerce.

Mitchell Republican: The ST. Paul
Globe of Wednesday is authority for the
statement that representatives OF Huron,
Sioux Falls, Rsdfield and Watertown
were in st. Paul Tuesday, trying to form
q combination to take the United States
court from Yankton and locate it at some
one Of the towns mentioned. This looks
like q base conspiracy to persecute our
sister city, and we vehemently protest.
st. Paul Globe: Yankton is q candI-
date for the FIRST position OF any town
in the south In Che way OF growth the
coming season. 1t is claimed that Ii
couldn't be persuaded to accept the
capital OF the territory again.
